Is it possible to design a swap test for three qubits? If it is possible how is it different from 2 and 4 qubits? share the design of the swap test?
Explain the swap test for 2 qubits to find the distance between qubits. Extend the swap test for 3 and 4 qubits. Will the design differ from each other and share the design for both the swap tests?
